In 1899 he attended drawing classes during which he produced works that were greatly influenced by the popularity of Auguste Rodin. Later though, he would be drawn to a new gathering of artistic creativity happening in Montparnasse, and from 1911 he began to sculpt in the Cubist style after meeting Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Juan Gris and Fernand Leger. photo in the public domain File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ... photo in the public domain File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ...
